Mayachin Shrine (A Fixed Device)

Mayachin Shrine is a puzzle shrine. Use Ultrahand, Fuse, Ascend and Recall to reach the terminal at the end. The trial is called A Fixed Device. It sits in Hyrule Field, about 46 map units from Exchange Ruins. The Nihcayam Lightroot lies directly beneath it in the Depths.

How to find it

Mayachin Shrine is at map coordinates -705, -868 (height 45), near Exchange Ruins.

Solution

Cross to the rotating arm

Ride the platform on the rotating device to hop to the far side of the first room, then step on the switch beside the glowing pillar. A large target swings into view on the wall.

Build a bat

Use Ultrahand to push a Zonai stake into the rotating arm on the floor, then stick a log or second stake onto the end of it to lengthen it into a bat. The ball rolls along the lane beside the arm.

Swing at the ball

Go back to the pillar and strike it to make the arm swing. Time it so the bat meets the ball as it rolls past and sends it into the target; reset and try again if you miss. The target turns green and opens the exit door. A small one-handed sword reduces the swing delay and makes the timing easier than a two-handed weapon.

Optional: open the second target for the chest

A second target on the opposite side is guarded by a hanging stone slab. Fix two stakes into the block above the slab (a third stake is hidden behind the slab) and attach the slab to them, or stick spikes to the back of the slab and fix them into the ceiling, so it no longer blocks the target. Strike the pillar again and hit the ball the other way, a little later than before, into the target to raise the barred gate and take the Energizing Elixir from the chest.

Take the Light of Blessing

Go through the exit door and touch the seal on the altar for the Light of Blessing.

The Lightroot below

Directly under this shrine, in the Depths, is the Nihcayam Lightroot. Light it from below to reveal that part of the Depths map.
